Tony Preston Drain Services LTD in addition to being the #1 drain unblocker on the Wirral undertake a complete drain repair service, one of our most common repairs is gully replacement, this often involves excavation to expose the old drains to instigate the repair.
Tony Preston Drain Services LTD also offer a complete drain construction and alteration service which includes a pressure test on completion to ensure all our work is sound before reinstatement of the ground.
Tony Preston Drain Services LTD also build and repair brick access chambers, these are also known as the traditional man hole which is used as an intersection of the drains for inspection and rodding.
Drains can often become displaced, this means the joints have moved off centre and often this movement can create an obstruction within the drain and be the cause of blockages. Another worrying issue that arises from drain displacement is sewage and water leaking out into the ground, in severe cases, this can structurally undermine your house foundations and cause damp within your building.
Tony Preston Drain Services Ltd are expert in trenchless technology. It is often possible to use a resin sectional repair placed within the existing sewer pipe, this has the benefit of avoiding costly and disruptive ground excavation.
A repair can consist of one drain joint carried out with a resin sectional repair or multiple repairs including cracked drains or even the repair of holes within the drain.
In extreme cases, it is often a more viable alternative to invert a new resin lining along the complete length of a drain.
The resin repairs form a strong structural repair that is actually stronger than the original pipe that has been repaired.
This technology is expected to give a product life in excess of 50 years.
Homes often suffer from unexplained nasty sewer smells within the home Tony Preston Drain Services Ltd can find the cause and erradicate this problem
Smoke testing.
A non-toxic smoke is forced through the drains entering your home. Our engineer will trace any smoke entering the home’s air space from the drain and recommend remedial action.
Dye testing
Often, it can be confusing as to where drains are running, Tony Preston Drain Services Ltd introduce a non-toxic dye into the water at the source and this is traced to find its direction. This test helps identify live drains and also establish if a drain is shared.
Tony Preston Drain Services Ltd is approved by Picote (world inatovators of drain cleaning and drain repair equipment) to use the Picote milling machines. Roots can become insidious in drains and once established cause blockages and continue to damage the drain, the Picote flexshaft is the answer to this problem. The flex shaft utilises either chains or abrasive discs to cut or grind through any obstacle, even concrete.
Some jobs are beyond water jetting and this is when the flexshaft is employed.
Thinking of extending your home? Maybe you don’t know where your drains are running or what direction they take? Tony Preston Drain Services LTD can carry out a drain mapping survey using specialised equipment that can locate the direction and depth of clay or plastic drains down to a depth of 9 meters. As Wirrals #1 drain unblocker this equipment is very useful in establishing the depth of any proposed excavation thus being able to give our customers accurate costings for repairs to be undertaken.
Tony Preston Drain Services Ltd carry out a basic camera inspection where practicable before unblocking and also after the blockage has been cleared as part of the job at hand. If a blockage has occurred it’s beneficial to know why. A camera inspection can answer these questions.
We also offer homebuyers drain reports, helping potential homeowners be informed as to the condition and operation of a property’s drain system thus avoiding costly repairs later on.
Camera inspection and basic report £295 + vat
One of the most common issues found in drain inspection is drain misalignment. This often creates leaking joints and obstruction within the drain that debris can snag onto.
Why are drains misaligned?
Often there has been movement in the ground over time, settlement and environmental issues causing ground heave and excessive shrinkage. This can have a detrimental effect on the drains in terms of misalignment or even collapse.
Drains with open joints ( misalignment) can also cause dampness to enter your home, often we have found that customers have been wrongly advised regarding rising damp and have instigated major damp proofing works, new damp proof course and hack off and re-plaster to internal walls. These repairs are both ineffective and completely unnecessary, the drains are in most instances the problem.
Misalignment can also cause continuous water to flow under house foundations eventually causing buildings to subside.
Keep rats out of your property.
Unfortunately, rats are all around us in the urban environment especially under the ground and in the general sewer systems in our streets.
Your drainage connects to the main sewer where the rat population is prolific. Rats can run through drains under and around your property often undetected that is until they find a way into your property via the toilet.
Sounds disgusting but it is often a very frightening experience having to face a rat inside your home . If these rats go undetected, they soon colonise and make a home for themselves.
Tony Preston can install a device called a rat gate to STOP any rats gaining access through your toilet pipe. This device is cost effective for the peace of mind it gives.
RatGate is a highly effective device that fits into your drains with the simple purpose of keeping rats out of your property.
Tony Preston Drain Services LTD can install the Ratgate into most drains quickly and protect you against rodent attack.
Here are some simple steps you can take to prevent rats getting into your home.
